| Item Description: | "Provides the reader with a comprehensive up-to-date compendium on New Zealand charities law"--Back cover. Includes index. "There has been much change in the charitable sector over recent years with the establishment of the Charities Commission in 2005, and several High Court decisions since (many of which are controversial). Despite the efforts of the Charities Commission, who have a specific education function, the authors have noticed widespread confusion within the sector. There have also been significant developments in other jurisdictions. The Charity Sector in New Zealand is large and branches into many aspects of our society. The legal and accounting professions are developing better skills with which to understand how the sector works but there is room to improve. At a very practical level the authors would like to see guidance for lawyers and accountants when setting up administering and acting for charities. There is a real need for a comprehensive resource on the law and practice of charities in New Zealand"--Publisher's information. |
